Draft Resources

Can anyone link me to a nice explanation of the different options for the draft feature? I've been using draft feature for years, and I still don't really understand the nuances of taper/perpendicular step draft / parting line draft. I typically just go through various options until one has the result that I want, and waste a lot of time in the process.

For a nice explanation, look in Help. Generally this has to do with conforming faces to edges or edges to faces with draft.
